In this Mastercam Lathe tutorial, our CNC specialist demonstrates how to use the software to create a 2D profile, set up the stock, and configure the chuck jaws for machining. The "Turn Profile" toolpath is used to cut a specific shape into the workpiece, while the stock setup function allows you to define the dimensions and position of the raw material. The chuck jaws setup is essential for holding the workpiece securely during machining. This tutorial covers the key steps and settings for each of these functions and provides helpful tips for achieving accurate and repeatable results. Whether you're new to Mastercam Lathe or looking to improve your skills, this tutorial is a valuable resource for any CNC machinist.
